Jeremy is joined by Chris Arnsby for another in the miniseries exploring films outside the podcast's usual purview. This time, they look at 1984 television drama Threads, notorious for its uncompromising depiction of nuclear war and its after-effects, and their discussion covers such hot-button topics as the final episode of Coronation Street, the hopelessness of civil defence, parallels to the COVID-19 pandemic and their own brushes with Armageddon.

Below are a trailer for the recent remastered home video release, the documentary from which Threads derived and Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony, which provided the opening music.
